Generally in Bangladeshi apparel industries
industrial engineering department contribute a little than the expectation from
them and in maximum factories this department is as a show. But if industrial
engineering department can focus their knowledge and activities in major two
areas (I.e. factory cost reduction & maximize CM earning) then that
department can be magic stone or role players of Bangladeshi apparel
industries. Generally in the following cases we can mark the deviation:1. Operation development:
Very few industrial engineers utilize their knowledge & experience in operation development. But it is very essential to focus on that case because through the continuous operation development we can simplify our operation, reduce possibility of operation deviation (I.e. defects), and reduce operating cost. Therefore we can surpass our competitors with low production cost & better product quality.
2. Problem solving:
It is very rare that industrial engineers attack the root cause of the problem. Instead of this they seek for temporary solutions. They never think that, that problems may arise again. Actually we should make some core projects to identify & eliminate the root causes of the problem. If we can do that projects in a proper manner then it can be guaranteed that our organization will face minimum problems and infrequently that ultimately will help to reduce production loss time and may ensure right first time product quality.
